I just spotted your Wensleydale Flickr photo – I have just visited the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, Yorkshire, (England) where they make this cheese! It’s so cool – you can watch it being made and then sample all different kinds of Wensleydale afterwards. Yum!

When I moved to Seattle in the fall of ’04, people (strangers) were always telling me how especially hard it is to make true friends there. My mom told me that it takes time to make friends wherever you are, then that article came out. I think that part of the problem is so many people that move to Seattle don’t stay permanently, myself being one, and that changes the dynamic of how people bond.

Yeah, the Seattle freeze thing is pretty accurate. I’ve lived here 10 years and don’t have a single friend that I can do things with. Though, I’m sure I’m mostly to blame and would probably be accused of providing some of the frigidity for that freeze. I’m a geek grrl who just doesn’t do well with the social. I try to be nice and smile and say hello, but I often have a hard time making much small talk. And since my work life is surrounded by men, I don’t tend to be able to meet other women in the workplace. :(
